I am largely following the DADA2 tutorial by Benjamin Callahan that can be found here.

Viewing the quality of 2 of the forward samples
Viewing the quality of the same 2 of the reverse samples
You can see in above figures that the quality of reads drop off towards the end, so we need to filter out these low quality reads
## reads.in reads.out
## A10_16S_R1.fastq 25343 23991
## A11_16S_R1.fastq 27398 26006
## A12_16S_R1.fastq 45822 44152
## A2_16S_R1.fastq 99390 94836
## A3_16S_R1.fastq 77568 73174
## A6_16S_R1.fastq 44719 41897
After filtering out the low quality reads, we have maintained about 95.7 of the original reads.
Viewing the quality of the same 2 of the forward samples post filtering and trimming
Viewing the quality of the same 2 of the reverse samples post filtering and trimming
The error rates for each possible transition (A→C, A→G, …) are shown. Points are the observed error rates for each consensus quality score. The black line shows the estimated error rates after convergence of the machine-learning algorithm. The red line shows the error rates expected under the nominal definition of the Q-score. We want the estimated error rates (black line) to be a good fit to the observed rates (points), and the error rates to drop with increased quality.
We are now ready to apply the core sample inference algorithm to the filtered and trimmed sequence data.

Inspecting the returned dada-class object for the first forward sample:
## dada-class: object describing DADA2 denoising results
## 113 sequence variants were inferred from 6094 input unique sequences.
## Key parameters: OMEGA_A = 1e-40, OMEGA_C = 1e-40, BAND_SIZE = 16
The DADA2 algorithm inferred 144 true sequence variants from the 9515 unique sequences in the first sample. There is much more to the dada-class return object than this (see help("dada-class") for some info), including multiple diagnostics about the quality of each denoised sequence variant, but that is beyond the scope of an introductory tutorial.

We now merge the forward and reverse reads together to obtain the full denoised sequences. Merging is performed by aligning the denoised forward reads with the reverse-complement of the corresponding denoised reverse reads, and then constructing the merged “contig” sequences. By default, merged sequences are only output if the forward and reverse reads overlap by at least 12 bases, and are identical to each other in the overlap region (but these conditions can be changed via function arguments).
The mergers object is a list of data.frames from each sample. Each data.frame contains the merged sequence, its abundance, and the indices of the forward and reverse sequence variants that were merged. Paired reads that did not exactly overlap were removed by mergePairs, further reducing spurious output.
We can now construct an amplicon sequence variant table (ASV) table, a higher-resolution version of the OTU table produced by traditional methods.
##
## 223 227 239 246 251 252 253 254 255 256 257
## 2 1 1 1 5 46 1601 86 4 4 2
The sequence table is a matrix with rows corresponding to (and named by) the samples, and columns corresponding to (and named by) the sequence variants. This table contains 1753 ASVs.
After viewing the distribution of read lengths, it looks like we have some that fall outside the expected range (244 - 264) so we will go ahead and remove these non target length sequences.
##
## 246 251 252 253 254 255 256 257
## 1 5 46 1601 86 4 4 2
This updated table now contains 1749 ASVs.
The core dada method corrects substitution and indel errors, but chimeras remain. Fortunately, the accuracy of sequence variants after denoising makes identifying chimeric ASVs simpler than when dealing with fuzzy OTUs. Chimeric sequences are identified if they can be exactly reconstructed by combining a left-segment and a right-segment from two more abundant “parent” sequences.
A total of 9 bimeras were identified from the 1740 input sequences, thus retaining 100% of sequences.
As a final check of our progress, we can look at the number of reads that made it through each step in the pipeline:

It is common at this point, especially in 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing, to assign taxonomy to the sequence variants. The DADA2 package provides a native implementation of the naive Bayesian classifier method for this purpose. The assignTaxonomy function takes as input a set of sequences to be classified and a training set of reference sequences with known taxonomy, and outputs taxonomic assignments with at least minBoot bootstrap confidence.
The dada2 package GitHub maintains the most updated versions of the Silva databases., but I downloaded the databases from the associated Zenodo. The versions in this GitHub repository, used here, were last updated on 26 July 2022.
Let’s inspect the taxonomic assignments:
## Kingdom Phylum Class Order
## [1,] "Bacteria" "Proteobacteria" "Alphaproteobacteria" "Rickettsiales"
## [2,] "Bacteria" "Cyanobacteria" "Cyanobacteriia" "Chloroplast"
## [3,] "Bacteria" "Proteobacteria" "Gammaproteobacteria" "Pseudomonadales"
## [4,] "Bacteria" "Myxococcota" "Myxococcia" "Myxococcales"
## [5,] "Bacteria" "Campylobacterota" "Campylobacteria" "Campylobacterales"
## [6,] "Bacteria" "Proteobacteria" "Gammaproteobacteria" "Burkholderiales"
## Family Genus Species
## [1,] "Fokiniaceae" "MD3-55" NA
## [2,] NA NA NA
## [3,] "Pseudomonadaceae" "Pseudomonas" NA
## [4,] "Myxococcaceae" "P3OB-42" NA

Great! We can now save this and hand it off to Phyloseq for further analyses.

Internal transcribed spacer region 2 (ITS2) PCR amplification was performed using SYM_VAR_5.8S2 and SYM_VAR_REV primers (as described in Hume et al. 2013, 2015) using the following PCR profile: 26 cycles of 95℃ for 40 s, 59℃ for 2 min, 72℃ for 1 min and a final extension of 72℃ for 7 min. A negative control was included and it failed to amplify so it was not sequenced. PCR products were cleaned using the GeneJET PCR Purification kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A second PCR was performed to dual-barcode samples before pooling, which was done based on the visualization of band intensity on a 1% agarose gel. 20 μl of the pool was run on a 2% SYBR Green gel for 100 min at 70 V. The target band was excised and placed in 30 μl of Milli-Q water overnight at 4℃. The supernatant concentration was measured using a DeNovix DS-11+ Spectrophotometer.
The V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified via PCR using Hyb515f and Hyb806R primers (Parada et al. 2016, Apprill et al. 2015) and the following PCR profile: 30 cycles of 95℃ for 40 s, 63℃ for 2 min, 72℃ for 1 min and a final extension of 7 min. Two negative controls using Milli-Q water were also prepared during the 16S library preparations and these samples were also sequenced. The same procedure as described above for the ITS2 samples was then followed. Concentrations of the ITS2 and 16S pools were used to combine the two pools in a 1:3 ratio respectively. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina MiSeq (paired-end 250 bp) at Tufts Genomics Core Facility.
Demultiplexed reads were pre-processed using bbmap (CITE) to remove adapters and to split ITS2 and 16S reads based on primers. Resulting ITS2 reads were then analyzed using the SymPortal framework (Hume et al., 2019) by submitting paired fastq.gz files directly to SymPortal. Samples were subjected to standard sequence quality control protocols using MOTHUR 1.39.5 (Schloss et al., 2009), the BLAST+ suite of executables (Camacho et al., 2009), and minimum entropy decomposition (Eren et al., 2015). SymPortal identifies specific sets of defining intragenomic ITS2 sequence variants (DIVs) to define ITS2 type profiles that are indicative of genetically differentiated Symbiodiniaceae taxa (Hume et al., 2019).
16S primers were removed using cutadapt (CITE) and DADA2 (CITE) was used to conduct quality filtering and inference of 1740 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) (see Table SXX to track reads lost through filtering). 16S taxonomy was assigned using the Silva v. 138.1 database (CITE) and National Center for Biotechnology Information’s nucleotide database using blast+ (CITE). ASVs matching mitochondria, chloroplasts, or non-bacterial kingdoms were removed (130 total) and 3 ASVs were removed based on negative controls as contaminants (Decontam; (CITE)). Cleaned counts were then rarefied to 1.766810^{4} per sample using vegan (CITE), trimmed using MCM.OUT (CITE) to remove ASVs present in less than 0.01% of counts, and then rarefied again to 1.5610^{4} resulting in 416 ASVs.
